“They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven But they don’t tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to Hell!”
I love Brand New :)
“You said your hope was lost. My eyes were stinging hot. The first of the tears to fall hurts the worst of all. I had it all planned out, what I was going to say. But then that lump in my throat stole my words away. Darling, if nothing else, I know that this is true; I’d have nobody if I don’t have you.

“Whatever poison’s in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff. But it’s the genie at the bottom who I’m sucking at. He owes me one last wish. So here’s a present to let you know I still exist. I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips. But I got a plan: Drink for forty days and forty nights.

Sad veiled bride, please be happy Handsome...

keeping to yourself life’s getting old this cold december night feels so alone the bathtubs overflowing, as you dissolve into it and write a letter to a broken home you feel it sinking in, the water you breathe in all these faces, see what you created they battle tears just to say, I’ll miss your smile if you could get a second chance, you’d take it a chance you’d take to...
